[blindlaw] taking the bar exam with jaws

[Locke Milholland]

For the multi state, I used a reader of my choice, wetted by the State bar. 
They allowed my sister, a professional editor/writer with no legal 
background, with whom I have obviously had a long term relationship with. 
She was better than a tape recording, at reading, and at filling out the 
bubble sheet.
